Of course she spent most of it with family and only a few with us (not complaining). Thats fine. The night ended not with goodbyes, only see-you-laters (elephants [inside joke, sorry]). Candies, Sexy Mother Puckers, Tequila shots, Tawilis, Boxes of Sobraines, and funny keychains. Wonderful wonderful night. I love you, you three.

Parang online diary lang ang nasa utak ko. Hm.. Ano nga ba ang responsible blogging? Dahli jan, tinigil ko ang trabaho sa opisina, at nagresearch. Eto ang nahanap ko. <h1><a href="http://execmediagroup.com/network/?p=7" rel="bookmark">10 Rules for Responsible Blogging</a></h1> Posted on May 3, 2008 1. Check your facts: technology makes it incredibly easy to produce and share content nowadays. The result is that information is spreading like fire through social networks, bookmarking sites and blogs. Unfortunately we are talking about both correct and incorrect information. Make sure to check your facts before publishing posts or articles, else you might not only look dumb, but also misinform and damage other people. 2. Respect Copyright Law: people wrongly associate online content with public domain content. Did you know that every published material is copyrighted even if it do... http://abbukay.multiply.com/journal/item/189/Responsible_Blogging Wed, 21 May 2008 03:57:52 -0000 Red light na oh.

Sakto ang timing dahil birthday ni Kai Kai at wala kaming gagawin sa araw na iyo dahil wala ang aming mga magulang. So, go kami ni Ms. Maclang kasama ang dalawang chikiting na mga pinsang sila Rochelle at Jayel (na matagal na naming pangarap). So swimming, kain, slide, kain, swimming, kain, -hagis si Martha sa pool-, swimming, kain, kain, kain, at madami pang kain. Salamat Darl! Saya ng araw na ito.

What's a phrase you can say perfectly in another language, and what does it mean? (English and Tagalog do not count!) J'mapelle (My name is...) [Yan lang natutunan ko sa class ko nung college]/ 2. What color do you like most? Yellow at black. Di ko alam kung bakit... 3. Would you rather be really ugly but be the only person in the world with super powers, or be the only really good looking person but alone in a world where everyone has powers? (bilang hirap na hirap sagutin) Um... Either way unique ka. Hm... Pero mas unique yung ikaw ang pinakamaganda kahit wala kang powers. Dahil silang lahat na may super powers na, hindi na unique. Katumbas lang ng may cellphone na ngayon lahat ng tao. Wala nang dating. 4. Where would you like to go to the most? Kung saan may pinakamagandang beach. Hindi ko pa alam san yun eh. 5. What is the best thing in your current company? The work I guess. And the people. 6. When you encounter a sad moment, what do you do? I dwell on the sadness. ... http://abbukay.multiply.com/journal/item/183/Tinaya_ni_Nieto_Taya_si_Babat_Nico_A._Pao_Dadi_Kai_Kai_Bebin_Anna_at_Kimmy Tue, 6 May 2008 05:08:36 -0000 Cagayan-Camiguin Bilang super dami ng pictures at tamad (busy?) akong magpost, ngayon ko lang nailagay.Ni hindi ko nga alam na napost ito eh. So paninindigan ko na yung pagiging tamad ko, di ko na irorotate. Hehe. Lahat ng tao may camera, pati si buning at walang point-and-shoot ni isa. Super saya. Family outing for summer, sa last leg lang kami ni kuya nakasama dahil may pasok sha at ako ay may trabaho. Nagsimula ito sa Gen San, Davao, Cagayan, Camiguin.

We don’t do liposuction on anorexics. So why amputate the genitals of these patients?” ~The case against publicly funded transsexual surgery, JP Federoff   Comments anyone? http://abbukay.multiply.com/journal/item/182/Insights_on_Adolescent_Transsexuals Thu, 10 Apr 2008 07:30:45 -0000 Earth Hour 2008 Philippines to Join World Cities for Earth Hour (03.29.08)   It started with a question: How can we inspire people to take action on climate change? The answer: Ask the people to turn off their lights for one hour. This coming 29 March 2008, from 8 to 9 in the evening, the Philippines will join cities in Europe, North America and Asia by switching off lights and electrical gadgets as part of a global movement termed Earth Hour. Pasay City Mayor Wenceslao Peewee Trinidad agreed to turn off all lights along Manila's historical Roxas Boulevard seaside strip for 60 minutes on 29 March to show support. WWF lauds Mayor Trinidad and Pasay's commitment to become beacons for other cities within the country. Created to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off lights for an hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming. This simple act has captured the hearts and minds of people all o... http://abbukay.multiply.com/journal/item/181/Earth_Hour_2008 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 02:42:38 -0000 I am under construction. I am a disappointment to myself. I am a walking contradiction (cliche 1) but thats how it is these days. I am so tired of smiling - of showing laughter thru my eyes. Sometimes I wonder if it really is happiness I feel or its all an act: Life is a stage (cliche 2). I am fickle, and so is my life. A brilliant fictionist once told me (actually last night) that I am a magazine, nay, a book even and my best friend is a newspaper. Is that a bad thing? Would it be worse to be a magazine than a book? A book than a magazine, perhaps? I’d rather be -pause- I’d rather be something sometime and then another at a change of a second. Fickle. Change is inevitable (cliche 3). C’est la vie (cliche 4).   http://abbukay.multiply.com/journal/item/180/I_am_under_construction.

OA na ito, ladies and gentlemen. Nakakalungkot. Nakakalungkot dahil parang kahapon lang, nagsisimula pa lang tayong magchikahan.

Parang kahapon lang, ang mga complains natin tungkol lang sa layo ng rehearsal venue (Arkel: "Para akong lumuwas!", a.k.a. bahay ni Mindy) tapos biglang SOBRANG laki pala ng pagdadaanan pa natin - di lang natin alam. Parang kahapon lang SM lang natin si Opa, ngayon na promote na sha, Nanay na natin sha. Haay... ang daming kahapon lang... "Ganun' talaga... Natatapos eh. Natatapos talaga." Ayoko pa lang mashadong magsalita dati dahil dito dahil sobrang nalulungkot ako. Pero dahil andito na't sinimulan nyo na din, ako naman ang babanat.

Whole run, pick-up rehearsal para sa show tomorrow. Yun lang ang alam namin. Hanggang sa "nagka-aberya" daw sa lola ng Arkel kaya change ng venue, kila darl nalang. Pagdating doon - Tahimik ang loob ng bahay, walang ilaw at may candle-lit na walk way papasok sa bahay. Sa loob, si MonMon nakaupo sa upuan sa ilalim ng chandelier, hawak ang gitara sa harap ng isang lamesang puno ng kandila, mga candies at chocnut at lollipop. Pinaupo kami lahat. Ladies, please welcome, the boys of TKM. Harana nila Arkel, Nicco, Cannu, and Omar with MonMon in guitars para sa amin sa araw ng mga puso. Puro tilian, kiligan at iyakan. Salamat boys. Sobrang salamat. Hinding hindi namin makakalimutan ang Valentine's Day 2008. http://abbukay.multiply.com/video/item/13/Valentines_Day_2008_Part1 Thu, 14 Feb 2008 14:58:33 -0000 Lagpasan ang unos. Desiderata. Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face o... http://abbukay.multiply.com/journal/item/172/Lagpasan_ang_unos._Desiderata.

I just got home. I went out after 10pm to see Kimmy. I thought she needed to talk. Well she did, but not as much as I did. I thought it was fine. I was right, it is. I thought I was fine, I am. But there is just this lingering feeling that I missed something... Someone in my life. Funny how things turn up. You feel that there is something that you miss. Something that's lacking in your life, and you just push it back - pushing it behind and deeper into your head. It wasn't until a few weeks - that things resurfaced. I missed him. I missed having him around. Waiting for an angel... But then I think of the things that have happened. The things that have led to this - where I am - where he is - where we're at - its just impossible now. (writing aimlessly after two bottles of beer and a day's work). Its sad, really. That you devote an entire chapter of your life, to someone and its turns out this person doesn't deserve that much -even a bit of it.
